REALLY liking the name and logo.

Now, let's get the ball rolling on an expandable soccer specific stadium.

There's a cool video over on BCC, an intro for the soccer team.

I can only echo what everyone else has already said.  The logo looks great and the people involved in owning and running the franchise are top notch.  I'm really looking forward to watching them put the team together and seeing them grow along with the city.

The intro video is up on YouTube now. This was well done also.

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Great name, logo, and intro video.  I am not a soccer follower but this may change that.  I will buy logo merchandise even if I don't become one.

My only slight criticism of the team is that they should be aiming for their opponent's goal, rather than their own. Nice save by the goalie though!

As a designer and a fan of typography, it seems like "Jacksonville" and "Football Club" are squeezed into the logo. Not to mention using a weak lightweight font. Seems that every other club, other than Ft. Lauderdale, abbreviated Football Club with F.C. Just imagine if the Jaguars tried to squeeze "Jacksonville" into their shield logo. Aside from that... I like the general gist of the logo. Just my 2 cents.

One of the guys who works for me would gleefully wait outside in the freezing rain to watch a soccer game, he also can't be trusted with the remote at a barbecue because he'll put it on the tv. Personally I don't get it, maybe I just have a short attention span or something, but when you watch a game for 3 hours and the score is still 0 to 1 or 0 to 0, it reminds me of all foreplay and no sex. I keep kidding with him, if they'd make the goals bigger (thereby increasing the score) more Americans would like the game. Still I'm happy another option seems to be coming to town.

CSX has the logo lit up on end of building facing the Landing. Looks pretty cool. Pic is on Armada twitter page. I have no idea how to show the pic in here. Kind of techie challenged.

Years on the forum, finally learned how to post a pic. Don't think you can take it off Twitter, though.

1, 2, 3 hours, makes no difference. I agree w/ you. Soccer is boring as hell (waiting for the onslaught here), but I'm glad it's in Jax for those that enjoy.
